RESULT OF THE ELECTION.
Satisfaction at the white House

: 49, 49, @-@ON-e7S
WASHINGTON, Nov. Everybody around
the White House to day, from the President
down to the humblest employe, wore a smile
of satisfaction when the result of yesterday
election was mentioned in their hearing As
stated this morning, the President was kept
fully informed last night of all election returns
by private dispatches, in addition to full
report of all the kilograms received by the two
press associations. He did not retire for the
night until he had received assurances that
New York, Maryland and Virginia had voted
as he wished. When he entered his library
this morning, about nine o'clock, he found q
large pile of kilograms from personal and DO
litical friends from all parts of the country.
containing further details of the great victory,
and sending congratulations. He had scarcely
finished looking over his morning mail when
u number of official callers were announced.
Among them were Senators Voorhees,, Vest,
Pugh, Call, Cockrell, Representatives Bland,
Green, and Breckenridge, of Kentucky. Ali
of them were jubilant over the elections, pro.
fuse in their commentators of the present
administration, and sanguine as to the result
of the next national campaign.
SENATOR PUGH's VIEWS
Senator Pugh said the result of yesterdays
contest shows conelusively that the Demo
cratic party is better organized and disciplined
to-day than it has been before in thirty years.
The GROWERS and the grumblers, of whom so
much was heard about year or two ago,
have pulled off their coats and gone to work
to perpetuate their party in power, believing
that the time will come, sooner or later, when
their services to the party will be substantially
appreciated. Referring to the overthrow of
Malone in Virginia, Senator Pugh said that
it was fair to presume that Representative
John S. Barbour would succeed Mr. Riddle
berger in the Senate, as his long and faithful
party services would seem to entitle him to
that honor.
EXPRESSIONS OF CONFIDENCE.
In addition to the numerous written and
Geographic congratulations which the Presi-
dent received, he was also the recipient of
many verbal expressions of confidence and
esteem during his regular public reception
in the East Room. He was yearly twenty
minutes late commencing his reception, but
his happy, good natured manners and the
cordially which he displayed towards his
visitors fully atoned for his tardiness. A
large proportion of his callers we're ladies,
and most of them indicated their pleasure
that the administration se1rsd handsome
victory yesterday.
THE ELECTION IN THE DEPARTMENTS
Throughout the departments to-day the
elections were freely discussed, and the
friends of the administration have in their
own minds renominated and e-eIected Presi-
dent Cleveland for second term. Among
Republicans it was observed that there was a
total lack of sympathy for Mr. Nicoll, the
candidate for district attorney in
New York city, as against Col. Fellows. The
general opinion was that he deserved to be
defeated because of the unnatural canvass
his friends made in his behalf
MARYLASpERs PARTICULARLY PLEASED.

the result in their State, and numerous tele.
grams of congratulation have been sent from
friends in this city to Governor-elect jackson.
and Messrs. Baughman and Whyte, all Of
